I'm almost positive the bracket to housing bolt is blind....you would think I'd remember, damn senility stinks!

Bolts that clamp housing together are both fine fortunately. One bolt that holds the bousing to the bracket seems to be stripped. I figure the next time the car is on the lift at one of WAZOO meet I can get a better look and figure a solution. Either way, this is not that critical - right?
I did this with driver side jacked up w/ Corvette jack (I know not a good idea but I was only partially under the car) out at the condo car wash area and really did not want to turn into a major production.
Tom - I know what you mean about getting old.
Any chance you can make WAZOO get together at Glenn's this Saturday in Annapolis?
